Everyone gets stressed out it's just a part of life, it is what it is. Sometimes we have no control over how stressed we get but then other times we do. Here're some tips to sit back and try when you're starting to feel overwhelmed with life and you don't think you're going to make it!
1. Take a minute to breathe.
Sit down and inhale and exhale slowly for a minute or two. Catching your breath is important to staying in reality.
2. Don't let yourself get overwhelmed easily.
Make a list of all the things that have been done and put them in order from most important to least.
3. Take a walk and smell the roses, or the coffee.
Always take a moment each week or day depending on how much time you really have and just take a walk, grab some coffee and give it to yourself to calm down for those moments.
4. Buy a new candle and light it as your working.
Candles are the perfect way to de-stress. Especially when they smell really good and put you in a better mood.
5. Don't think too far ahead, think in the moment.
Once your list of most important to least is finished think of the things that can only be done today or at that exact moment. If something on the list can be done after or the next day cross it off.
6. Don't procrastinate so much and it'll lessen your stress levels.
If you have a free hour of time take a moment and check what things you have to do and if you can even just start it in that moment do it, don't wait.
7. Allow your shower of the day help you de-stress.
Play some music that will make you sing in the shower and forget all your worries. Take that time to collect yourself and put yourself back to normal. That's what showers are for, to rejuvenate.
8. Text or call a close friend or family member and ask them to calm you down.
Talking to someone you love can make a huge difference especially once you tell them what's going on they can be the mediator for your brain and tell you what you need to really focus on.
9. Think about what you get to do once all your tasks are completed.
Whether it's just the weekend coming up after or a wedding, a birthday or even just a date with one of your friends or significant other there's always something to look forward to
